The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

Brute Force (also known as The Primitive Man) is a 1914 short silent comedy film directed by D. W. Griffith, and starring Robert Harron and Mae Marsh. Described as "a psychological comedy founded on the Darwinian theory of the evolution of man," it depicts cavemen and dinosaurs, and is perhaps the first live-action dinosaur film. It is a sequel to Griffith's earlier film, Man's Genesis (1912). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
